2.0 ENG Gold sizes1/2 Gilding Sizes The adhesive used to stick the metal leaf to a surface is commonly called missione or mixtion. The mixtions for the application of gold leaf of Masserini’s are the result of research and experience of our laboratory. They can be spread by brush, spray or with a soft cloth. There are several types, each suitable for a particular type of leaf and basecoat MXH - WATER-BASED MIXTION MXHV - WATER-BASED MIXTION FOR GLASS Water-based mixtion emulsion of vinyl acetate polymer. The extreme ease of use makes it a universal mixtion, suitable for general use on any materials. The density and the © CM Masserini srl quality of Masserini’s product allow very high dilution ratios depending on the basecoats and support and notwithstanding that the gilding keeps its brightness. Owing to the high quality of this professional product it’s advisable to wait about one hour before the application of the leaf. An idea, an innovation from our workshop: a mixtion unique in its kind, presented at the craftman fair in Milano in 2006. For the occasion, the technique of leaf cracked with DILFO was conceived by Masserini, in order to create tr ans par enc y on glass plates. Perfect for the gilding in transparency of glass and plastic. Warning: product is ready to use, doesn’t need dilution. MX3H - OIL-BASED MIXTION 3 HOURS MXHJ - DENSE WATER-BASED MIXTION Water-based mixtion emulsion of vinyl acetate polymer. The higher density in comparison with the product MXH makes it suitable for porous substrates. It can be diluted with water according to the greater or lower absorption of the basecoats. The classic oil-based mixtion of the traditional gilding size: gives a brilliance to the leaf, which is difficult to achieve with other mixtions. Oil-based mixtion, suitable especially with precious metal for its brilliance. It’s ready for use after about 3 hours from application. It can be diluted with turpentine ETP or synthetic thinner DILRM. MXAL - ALCOHOL-BASED MIXTION Alcohol-based mixtion emulsion of vinyl acetate polymer. Preferred by the users who want drying times slightly faster than for water-based mixtion. Excellent for metal gilding. The quality and concentration of the product allows dilution depending on the support. Masserini recommends dilution with diluent ALCAL. Warning: alcohol dilutions with poor quality alcohols may lead to jelling of the mixtion. via Dante Alighieri 85 - 20081 Abbiategrasso - Milano - Italia Tel: +390294966857 - Fax: +390294964217 [email protected] - www.cmmasserini.com MX12H - OIL-BASED MIXTION 12 HOURS © CM Masserini srl The classic oil-based mixtion of the traditional gilding size: : gives a brilliance to the leaf, which is difficult to achieve with other mixtions. It’s ready for use after about 12 hours from the application, usually is spread in the evening to gild the day after It can be diluted with turpentine ETP and synthetic thinner DILRM. 2.0 ENG. Gold sizes 2/2 MXDD - HARD MIXTION HIGROHARDENING NE W The latest idea from our laboratory: a mixtion that allows that the leaf stand rubbing even without protection, an innovation brought by the brand Masserini. Once the higrohardening mixtion is completely dry (some days are needed to reach this point), the leaf can’t be removed and acquires exceptional hardness properties. Conceived specifically for outdoor gilding, especially for marble, when using the genuine gold leaf it’s possible to avoid the protection. © CM Masserini srl Thinners and accessories for mixtions Our gold sizes are professional products supplied in high concentrated form. For this reason it’s necessary to get a dilution with suitable products to take advantage of the features of the product and make sure that the imitation gold leaf or genuine gold leaf adhere in the best possible way. ALCAL - THINNER FOR ALCOHOL-BASED MIXTION Mixture of different types of alalcohols for the dilution of the acohol-based mixtion MXAL. This product at the time of dilution allows that the mixtion doesn’t become jelly and that no lumps can be found on the surface; these problems may occur when using alcohols of low quality or unsuitable products. DILD - POLYURETHANE THINNER FOR HIGROHARDENING MIXTION Polyurethane high quality thinner, especially designed for the higrohardening mixtion MXD. It’s formulated so that components don’t interfere particularly with the imitation gold leaf, preventing, if properly used, the formation of stains on the surface, as it may occur with the use of unsuitable products. ETP - PURE TURPENTINE Suitable for dilution of oil-based mixtions MX3H and MX12H. Having a lower volatility than the thinners based on petroleum-based solvents, allows that the mixtion gets spread better, so much so that the final result of the gilding. gets very effective and smart DILRM - SYNTHETIC THINNER FOR OIL-BASED MIXTION Suitable for dilution of oil-based mixtion MX3H and MX12H. Solvent-based thinner based on petroleum with fairly rapid drying time: leaves an open time for the application of the leaf slightly lower than using the thinner ETP. via Dante Alighieri 85 - 20081 Abbiategrasso - Milano - Italia Tel: +390294966857 - Fax: +390294964217 [email protected] - www.cmmasserini.com CTD - QUICKENER FOR HIGROHARDENING MIXTION Product designed to speed up the drying time of the mixtion MXD. Used in the right proportion accellerates the drying of the mixtion that would otherwise take several days’time.
